    About this audiobook

    Acclaimed author Judith St. George shares the joy of discovery in this delightful book about the ups and downs of exploring. So you want to be an explorer? Explorers need courage, like Alexander the Great, who conquered most of the known world. But for budding explorers out there, the rewards can be great. Neil Armstrong earned lasting fame when he became the first person to set foot on the moon.

    • 5/5
      It was long and perfectly entertaining throughout. It broadens the definition of explorer adequately to accomodate modern exploration. It was a really well-written book. Good for an older audience thanks to the length, but entertaining throughout.
    • 3/5
      The pathways theme of this book is Yesterday. It is a good book for boys in the middle grades who love exploring and adventure. It can be used as an example of a how to create a good hook. The intro grabs your interest as the author talks directly to the reader. It makes history captivating and worthwhile along with the funny illustrations and humorous text. Students can learn how to write with "voice" and interact with the reader through humor and exciting sentences like, "Great wasn't added to Alexander's name for nothing."
